Fly-by-wire

SKF Aerospace produces throttle control parts since the beginning of commercial aircrafts. In the eighties, we developed electronic sensor units for the first fly-by-wire commercial aircraft, the Airbus A320.
For the Dassault F2000 Twin engines and the Gulfstream G200 Business Jet, we designed a "plug and play" throttle control unit integrating artificial feeling and ergonomics.
We are continuously integrating various functionalities including auto throttle and side sticks.
